Dancin' at Home

New Music Alert: Two new songs have been added into regular rotation at Energy this week. First up is "House Is Not a Home" by Deborah Cox. New music from Deborah is always welcome, although this is one of her less dancey releases. A great remix could set this one on fire. Perhaps "House Is Not a Home" will grow into its own identity, but after just a few listens, to me the chorus sounds awfully similar to "Things Just Ain't the Same," also by Miss Cox.

The second add this week comes from Aaron Smith featuring Luvli. "Dancin'" has been featured in Energy's mix shows for many, many months now, and the station has finally decided to place it into regular rotation. This is a great song that deserves to be heard, but I was much more enthusiastic about it when I first heard it in the mixshows. It debuted on my personal chart back in May and spent a total of 14 weeks among the elite, peaking all the way at #2. For me, the song is a little played out, but for those who are hearing it for the first time, hopefully the reaction will be as enthusiastic as mine was.

NEXT WEEK: Hung Up - MADONNA

September 14, 2005

Mesmerizing Islands (A+)

Energy deserves major props for their adds this week - two of them are superb pieces of dance music. First up, we have the Freemasons' take on Faith Evans' "Mesmerized." It was not enough that the Freemasons are burning up the dance airwaves with their own "Love on My Mind;" now they've provided the most scrumptious remix of a stand-out vocal performance from Faith. This should leap out of the radio at you - music simply doesn't get any better or more joyful than this.

Additionally, Energy has added my personal #1 song of the week, "Islands" from QED. You may remember QED from a few years back, when they scored big with a remake of Def Leppard's "Love Bites." Now they're back, and group member Valentin has turned the beautiful, ballad-esque album version of "Islands" into a fierce floor-stomper. There's a reason this jam has soared to the top of my personal list of favorites - give it one listen, and hopefully you'll agree. Energy is on my awesome list this week - they're sounding particularly great right now, and I myself couldn't have chosen better adds. These two songs are perfection, pure and simple.

The third add of the week comes from Natasha Bedingfield, whose brother, Daniel, still receives quite a bit of play on Energy with songs like "Gotta Get Thru This" and "If You're Not the One." Natasha's first outing, "These Words," is a great pop song, but I don't feel the many dance remixes avaliable do it justice. Nevertheless, it makes a nice add to Energy's playlist as well.
